How Did Psamtik Caused The Fall Of Ancient Egypt

The late period began a year later in 672 B.C., it was during this time that the Assyrians left vassals in their place to rule. These vasssals eventually became known as the Saite kings of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. One of these kings named Psamtik the first used the fact that the Assyrians were busy and freed Egypt from servitude to the Assyrians with ease, he was even able to do it without fighting for the most part. He didn't do it alone however and had help from Lydian and Greek mercenaries. Psamtik took great caution to have peaceful relations with Assyria. In 609 B.C. Necho the second started a war with Babylonia, the Medians, the Scythians, and the Chaldeans, his goal was to save Assyria. Regardless this attempt turned out to be futile, not only did Egypt intervene too late but King Sin-shar-ishkun was dead and Ninevah had fallen. Necho's army tore through the Israelite army but the Assyrians and Necho ended up being defeated by the Babylonians,

Egypt became part of the Roman empire after the defeat of Cleopatra the seventh and Marc Antony at the Battle of Actium. During the rule of the Roman empire the Romans took an almost antagonistic approach to ruling, taxing the natives, and snuffing out rebellions. They also restricted administrative access to the Roman officials, rendering the native Egyptians powerless from a political stand point. They did however keep a few of the Egyptian traditions such as mummification and worship of Egyptian gods. Christianity eventually found it's way to Egypt, though it was initially seen as just another cult. This eventually led to Christianity threatening local religion and creating civil unrest, which led to the Diocletian purges which started in 303 A.D. Christianity did succeed in taking over however. Theodosius banned the worship of multiple gods and this led to a decline in the ancient Egyptian religion and their ability to read hieroglyphic writing. And this was the end of Ancient Egypt as we knew
